• 13% growth in Aladdin® revenue year-over-year reflects ongoing demand for risk management technology
• Expansion in operating margin from prior year driven by continued expense discipline in the current quarter
• 5% increase in diluted EPS (3% as adjusted) year-over-year
• Consistent capital management with $275 million of quarterly share repurchases

New York, October 18, 2016 — BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

“BlackRock’s business model was built to thrive in all market environments,” commented Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock. “In the third quarter, even as investor preferences continued to migrate from equity to fixed income and cash, and away from active strategies, the diversity of our platform drove nearly $70 billion of total net inflows. Our $55 billion of long-term net inflows were positive across both active and index strategies, and positive across every asset class and region.

“Retail and institutional investors continued turning to iShares as an effective way to express market views and generate alpha. iShares once again captured the #1 market share of net new business in the United States, in Europe and globally, across both equity and fixed income. Our European fixed income ETFs reached $100 billion of AUM and fixed income remains an important growth area for iShares.

“With pensions and insurers facing continued challenges to fund future liabilities in a ‘lower-for-longer’ environment, we saw $8 billion of long-term active net inflows from institutional clients in the quarter, reflecting demand for BlackRock’s customized fixed income solutions and multi-asset strategies. Institutional demand for investment and risk management technology remains strong and drove 13% growth in our Aladdin revenue year-over-year.

“Regulatory change continues to have a material impact on our industry. In retail, the DoL fiduciary rule will increasingly influence the choices that financial intermediaries make for their clients. Anticipating that change, BlackRock is using our scale to provide distribution partners with the highest quality investment strategies at the best value, as well as portfolio construction and risk tools, to help them build better portfolios. In cash management, where more than $1 trillion dollars has shifted from prime to government funds as a result of money market reform, the breadth of our platform and our ability to both embrace and adapt ahead of change have enabled us to meet our clients’ evolving needs and increase market share, and we saw $15 billion of net inflows into cash management in the third quarter.

“I want to thank our employees for their ongoing commitment to improving our clients’ financial futures. We continue to evolve our business model and invest in our future to help clients achieve their investment goals and deliver long-term value for shareholders.”
